gap in wooden dining table surface - how to fill

[ktuludays]

I am part way through refurbishing my dining room table.

I have sanded it down and am going to paint it this week. The design of the table means that the top has a gap around the two top panels which trap all loose bits of food and look horrible.

what i can use to fill this gap and sand smooth prior to painting?

thanks

Rob

Gaps are probably due to central heating causing shrinkage, if you are intending to paint then a wood filler will do the job.

gap has always been there. i did think wood filler will do it though
